Hell Emperor.

Chapter 295 Xia Wei - Thoughts
After ending the conflict at Vajra Baolun Temple, Xia Wei and others set off again.

When leaving, Hua Xiaomei looked at the remains of the monk who died tragically on the roadside. She couldn't bear it and was about to bury him properly, but was stopped by Xia Wei.

Hua Xiaomei pleaded, "Sister Xia Wei, when a person dies, all debts are forgiven. The dead are the greatest. The sins committed by those monks have all been wiped out with their death. You have already beheaded them, so there is no need to pursue them further. Let me collect their remains and let them rest in peace."

Xia Wei refused. She held Hua Xiaomei's hand and refused to let go. "These people deserved to die! I didn't hang their heads up to deter future generations because of other people. Sister Mei, don't collect their bodies. Just leave them here to be exposed to the wind and sun, and to be pecked by birds and gnawed by dogs. Only then can those wronged souls get justice!"

Hua Xiaomei was embarrassed and did not answer. Although according to the relationship between family members, Xia Wei still had to call her sister, but Xia Wei's words did not show any intention of compromise and did not give her any room to refute.

Helplessly, Hua Xiaomei sighed: "Sister Xia Wei, even though you are the reincarnation of an immortal and have accumulated countless good deeds in your previous life, you cannot kill people wantonly. If you kill someone, your good deeds will be deducted..."

Xia Wei pursed her lips tightly, her eyebrows raised: "What do you mean by indiscriminate killing? I am clearly acting on behalf of Heaven! I remember that Master also said something similar. I am clearly seeking justice for the innocent, why should I be deducted for my good deeds? My brother did not have a good ending after his death because of this..."

Xie Xinyu came over and explained slowly, "God is merciful and kind. No matter why you kill someone, 500 Yin De will be deducted. If you want to avoid punishment after death, you must do more good deeds and accumulate more Yin De..."

Hua Xiaomei corrected him, "It's useless to do good deeds. Even if you make up for your bad karma, the sin of killing will still be recorded in your life and death record. After you die, you will definitely go to the Soul Devouring Abyss to be punished."

Xie Xinyu snorted, "The uses of Yin De are more than you think. Don't you know that money makes the world go round? Who told you to use Yin De to offset your merits and demerits? I told you to use Yin De to bribe the judge to change your fate, so that you can avoid the punishment of murder."

After a pause, Xie Xinyu added, "As long as the judge takes action and erases the record of your murders in the Book of Life and Death, you will not be punished in your next life, no matter how many people you kill."

Seeing everyone talking, Li Ba interrupted and said, "What you are talking about are the rules of the original Guangwang Palace. They don't work in other places. The Golden Wheel Palace has such a strange arrangement of the rotating golden wheel, and there is no judge at all. Who should we find?"

This really stumped Xie Xinyu. She stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time. After a while, her face turned red, and she turned her head away, ignoring everyone.

Hua Xiaomei smiled and said to Xia Wei, "Sister Xia Wei, do you understand? In short, it is better not to kill people at will. Why not let me collect the bodies of these people? I will give you the credit, and maybe I can even make up for some of your good deeds."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Xia Wei remained expressionless, still looking stubborn, and answered loudly:

"If you help them collect the bodies, then who will help the innocent souls who died in their hands collect the bodies?"

Hua Xiaomei didn't know how to answer, and then she heard Xia Wei continue, "Sister Mei, I understand your good intentions. You are worried that I will be punished for killing someone, but you can rest assured. Think about the Guangwang Palace Master. He is a Yama King of the First Palace, but he has done countless bad things. Has any other ghost messenger come to punish him? In the end, as long as I am strong enough, I don't have to be afraid of anything."

At the end, Xia Wei's eyes also revealed a bit of determination: "What's more, Yin De is for ghosts. As long as I don't fall into reincarnation and become a true immortal, Yin De will not be counted on me."

These words left Hua Xiaomei speechless. With Xia Wei's talent, becoming an immortal was almost certain, so why should she worry about her good deeds? Her worries seemed a bit unnecessary. She sighed and stopped talking about collecting the bodies, leaving the bodies of the dead monks exposed here.

As she was leaving, Xia Wei seemed to have remembered something and asked the family members around her, "Will everyone who kills be punished? Why is it not natural to avenge the dead, but instead it will be deducted as an obstacle? Who made this rule?"

The ghosts were confused by Xia Wei's questions and couldn't figure out the reason for a long time.

Even the melon seeds in the painting of the Qionglou were alarmed by the situation outside. She came forward and answered Xia Wei: "If you want to explain it by saying that God is kind, I'm afraid Miss Xia Wei will not be satisfied. If you really want to know why there is such a rule, it was actually set by the previous Emperor of the Underworld."

"what?"

After hearing Guazi's answer, not only Xia Wei, but also the other people around were stunned at this moment. No matter it was Hua Xiaomei, or the ghosts like Li Ba, Xie Xinyu and others beside them, they all showed surprise.

Although they are ghost messengers and know all the rules of the underworld, they are only the ones who enforce the rules. They have never really thought about how the rules were formed or who made them.

Hua Xiaomei pondered Guazi's words and was somewhat surprised: "Is this actually a rule set by the Underworld Emperor? I thought this was all agreed upon by the ghost messengers..."

Xie Xinyu blinked, her bright eyes showing surprise, but she quickly regained her composure: "I was wondering why some rules seemed so unreasonable, it turns out they were all made by the Underworld Emperor."

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Guazi nodded slightly, and after everyone's discussions died down, he spoke:

"All the rules of the underworld were set by the Underworld Emperor. From the big things like how much Yin De is needed to be reborn during reincarnation to the small things like how much Yin De is added or subtracted in the archives, they are all clearly written in the Underworld Code. Unfortunately, with the death of the Underworld Emperor, the Underworld Code was also lost. No one knows what is written on it. We can only speculate what is recorded in the Underworld Code based on the various rules of the Underworld."

Everyone understood, but Xia Wei was indignant and couldn't calm down for a long time: "It turns out that all this is related to the Underworld Emperor! I was wondering why my brother was punished, it turned out to be because of those unreasonable rules!" Guazi glanced at her and answered in a calm tone: "The Underworld Emperor has his own purpose for setting such rules. If everyone kills each other, how can there be a day of peace in the world? When will the cycle of revenge end? If everyone wants revenge, then you kill me and I kill you, and the world will never be at peace. The Underworld Code is to maintain order in the world, and killing that takes away life is not allowed."

Xia Wei's eyes darkened, and a hint of anger appeared on her pretty face. After learning everything about the Hell Code, her heart could no longer return to its former tranquility: "Without fairness and justice, what is the use of peace? I would rather see everyone in the world die for justice than for them to condone evil and live in shame!"

Now even Guazi felt somewhat helpless. It was obviously unlikely to expect Xia Wei to understand the good intentions of the Underworld Emperor. If one day, she possessed the same power as the Underworld Emperor, there would be no peace in this world.

Shen Qingge also heard these words, and reminded indirectly: "It is not difficult to understand why the Underworld Emperor would do this. We must know that the way of heaven is impartial and will not change according to personal will. Sometimes, in order to maintain the stability of the world, it is indeed more important than anything else. Even if it means sacrificing fairness and burying justice, as long as the world can continue as before, it is not impossible."

Xia Wei kept shaking her head: "It's wrong to do this! Ants can only survive by stealing, but how can the people in this world be compared to ants? Even when it comes to avenging your family, you are restricted in your actions, and you have to calculate whether your good deeds will be deducted. This rule is not reasonable at all!"

Everyone was silent, thinking about Xia Wei's words.

Nan Linghe tilted his head: "Sister Xia Wei, that is the rule set by the Underworld Emperor. Do you think the Underworld Emperor is wrong?"

Xia Wei nodded vigorously: "Of course he is wrong! So what if he is the Underworld Emperor? He is wrong! If I could have the power of the Underworld Emperor, I would definitely encourage people to seek revenge and redress their grievances. How could I use Yin De to restrain people?"

Guazi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were solemn for a moment: "I heard that the Lord of the Demon Palace is trying every means to collect the main ledgers of the Book of Life and Death. I wonder how many main ledgers she has now... Whoever can collect ten main ledgers can ascend to the throne of the Underworld Emperor. At that time, all the ghosts under the underworld will obey the orders of the Underworld Emperor. Modifying the rules in the Underworld Code is only a matter of thought for the Underworld Emperor."

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomei coughed dryly and interrupted Guazi's words: "Sister Guazi, you'd better not provoke Xia Wei. The main account is not so easy to collect. Each main account is controlled by the Lord of Yama Palace. Moreover, the Lord of Mo Luo Palace is eyeing it covetously. How can ordinary people be qualified to get involved?"

At the end of the conversation, Hua Xiaomei's eyes could not help but show some resentment. Guazi was really talking about something irrelevant. What if Xia Wei was really tempted by the master account and was determined to become the emperor of the underworld and modify the underworld code? That would be terrible.

The more Hua Xiaomei thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Judging from Xia Wei's personality, that was indeed something she might do, so she quickly looked at Xia Wei. Fortunately, after learning about the news of the ten main accounts, Xia Wei was not impulsive, but appeared very calm.

"Palace Master Moluo... I met her once in Guangwang Palace. Her strength is the best in the three realms. I am no match for her now. I will not risk the lives of my family." Xia Wei spoke slowly.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at Xia Wei.

Indeed, with Xia Wei's temper, everyone was worried that she would get carried away and join the fight for the main account of the Book of Life and Death at all costs, regardless of the power of the Demon Palace, in order to get the main account. By then, Xia Wei might be fine, but her family members would inevitably suffer.

Everyone has long heard of the power of the Mara Palace. Even any Shura that comes out of the palace can rely on the name of the Mara Palace Master to make the ghosts and immortals from other continents tremble in fear and have no intention of resisting at all. This kind of domineering power can only be found in the Mara Palace throughout the underworld.

Now, seeing that Xia Wei had chosen to consider her family after careful consideration, everyone showed joy in their eyes, but soon, their joy was diluted by Xia Wei's next words:

"However, that is only limited to now. When I am strong enough, I will see whether the Lord of the Demon Palace is really that powerful. I must revise the Code of the Underworld, eliminate the injustice in the world, and make the world full of fairness and justice!" Xia Wei gritted her teeth.

From Xia Wei's unwavering gaze, everyone knew that she was not joking at all and that she really thought so in her heart.

Even though she may face many difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead, and even have to confront the strongest man in the underworld who commands the Demon Palace, Xia Wei has no intention of retreating. In her heart, upholding justice and making the rules of the world fair are more important than anything else. No matter what obstacles she encounters, nothing can stop her from thinking about it.

Everyone was silent, with complicated expressions. The scene fell into silence for a while. It was only when Li Fei'e took the initiative to speak that the silence was broken.

After listening to what Xia Wei said, Li Fei'e's face was filled with a somewhat joyful smile, and there was an indelible yearning in her bright eyes. Some people disagreed with Xia Wei's approach, thinking that she was fighting against a rock with an egg, and had no chance of winning at all. Some people were quite supportive and vowed to stand by her side. Li Fei'e was the latter:
"That's right, Sister Xia Wei. Those unfair rules should be changed. Don't worry, I will support you. Even if you want to challenge the Lord of the Demon Palace, I will go with you."

Everyone felt helpless about what Li Fei'e said. Shen Qingge couldn't help but rub her forehead. She always felt that her disciple had become more and more reckless since following Xia Wei. Now he even ignored the Lord of the Demon Luo Palace. She didn't know what to say.

Li Ba stroked his chin, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "The rise of the Lord of the Demon Palace has only happened in the past few hundred years. With sister Xia Wei's talent, she might really be able to reach the level of the Lord of the Demon Palace. Unfortunately, judging from Xia Wei's appearance, even if she gets ten master accounts, she is not interested in becoming the Emperor of the Underworld..."

On the side, Xie Xinyu sneered: "It's too early to talk about this now, isn't it? You don't even have a master account, and you're already thinking about the matter of the Underworld Emperor? Compared to this, we should be more worried about her getting into trouble with someone she shouldn't mess with. If she gets impulsive, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous..."

Everyone was talking at once, and it was not until Shen Qingge had rested that he summoned his flying sword and led everyone on their journey, leaving this place of trouble.

What everyone didn't notice was that just as they boarded the flying swords and flew into the air, the golden wheel that was still standing in the Vajra Temple suddenly emitted a golden light. At the same time, two heart-pounding auras also spread out.
